Those words and spaces I'm writing are part of a network and their meaning are the links that makes this structure a potential living communication. Each word itself is a network of letters driving sounds forms and color in an infite ammount of possibilities. To look deeper in networks, we have to take as first principle the abstraction and make a picture of the world as it is to work on it but in a transparent level

Trying to understand the concept of networks means to deal with the absolut and onnipresent abstraction. Potentially everything is a network. Losing the path in this totality is too easy however chosing one is too complicate and limitating. A first step should be not to deal with the complexity of an ever changing figure but to reduce the possibilities fighiting the abstraction with a stronger one and try to build the concept of network starting from an empty world, an empty space where the only defining things is the strong contrast between an infinite background and its first possible contrary.

Following my past research on the meaning of space and form as a wider theory called Science of Art (SoA), I'll try to built an evolutionary map of the network as a living structure, born from the interaction of our cognitive system and the physical world, taking place in the visual rappresentation but not limited to vision, however related with the synesthetic interrelation of senses and perception itself. In this step by step process I will arrive to analyze both the object of the network given by the possibile relation between its fundamenta elements and both the subject or individual who is constantly defining and defined by the object network.
